PREFACE. 



To all who are beginning to learn the noble language of 
ancient Greece, and to you my young friends, at present under 
my instruction for that purpose, I dedicate this humble attempt 
to render easy what is generally difficult, made in the way 
recommended of old by John Milton, Locke, and others; and 
extensively used in France. Every thing like elegance or 
neatness has been sacrificed in order to make it literal, and 
sentences here and there have been purposely left awkward 
which you will yourselves easily amend, and translate according 
to your own taste and judgment. You must have your Greek 
text always in hand, your Lexicon near, and have recourse to 
this translation only when you cannot make the sense out ; and 
never leave a sentence without a thorough understanding of it. 
Review often what you read, and try to fix it in your mind so as 
to make it like ready cash in your pockets which you can use at 
will. In this way you will become scholars. 

For your encouragement I may state that many whom I have 
helped and cheered on in the rugged path of learning, graduated 
afterwards at College with high honors, and many others went 
immediately from my teaching to a theological seminary, being 
deemed by their examiners sufficiently well grounded in the 
classics without any collegiate course. These are now preachers 
of the Gospel of different denominations, and a few of them are 
in far distant lands doing a good work among those who sit in

darkness and in the shadow of death. A collegiate course, 
however, I strongly recommend, if it can be obtained. Besides 
my own helps prepared for you, there is added also a key, by my 
learned friend Mr. Pantoleon, to Professor Boise's Greek Exer- 
cises which should be in the hands of all who learn Greek, and 
which you will use under my teaching. 

For your further encouragement, I will here relate a very 
remarkable instance of patient diligence and indomitable perse- 
verance. 

In the year 1827, after I had returned to Charleston from 
Scotland, and my classes were going on, a very respectable 
lawyer came to my school, I think some time in the month of 
October, with a youth apparently about sixteen, or perhaps not 
so much, of middle size, graceful in manners, rather slender, but 
well formed, and upon the whole, what I would call handsome ; 
of a keen, piercing eye, and a noble forehead seemingly the very 
seat of genius. The gentleman stated that he found him given 
to study, that he had been about three weeks learning the Latin 
rudiments, and (hoping, I suppose, to turn the youth's attention 
from the law to the ministry) had resolved to place him under 
my care for the purpose of learning Greek, Latin and Mathe- 
matics, sufficient to enter Charleston College. I very gladly 
received him, for I immediately perceived he was no common 
youth, as intelligence beamed in his dark eye, and shone brightly 
on his countenance, indicating great ability, and an assurance of 
his future progress. I at once put him in the highest class, just 
beginning to read Cesar's Commentaries, and although at first 
inferior, his prodigious memory and enthusiastic application soon 
enabled him to surpass the best. He began Greek at the same 
time, and read with some who had been long at it, in which he also 
soon excelled. In short, in the space of one year, he had with 
the class, and at odd hours with myself, read four books of Cesar, 
Cornelius Nepos, Sallust, six books of Virgil, nearly all Horace, 
and two books of Livy ; and in Greek, all Graca Minora, about 



PREFACE. 5 

the half of the first volume of Grseca Majora, and four books of 
Homer's Iliad. And whatever he read, he retained. It seemed 
to me, in fact, as if he learned by mere intuition. I was myself 
utterly astonished, and at the same time delighted with his pro- 
gress. I have hinted above that he was designed for the Church, 
but when I contemplated his bold, fearless disposition, his power- 
ful inventive genius, his admiration of warlike exploits, and his 
love of heroic and adventurous deeds, I did not think it likely he 
would be a Minister of the Gospel. He had not, however, the 
least appearance of any vice whatever. On the contrary, he was 
always the very pattern of virtue and modesty. I could not help 
loving him, so much did he captivate me by his gentlemanly 
conduct and extraordinary progress. It was easy to see that he 
would one day raise himself to eminence. Whilst under my 
instruction, I discovered his early genius for poetic composition 
in the following manner. When the Greek class read the 
account that Herodotus gives of the battle of Marathon, the 
bravery of Miltiades and his ten thousand Greeks, raised his 
patriotic feelings to enthusiasm, and drew from him expressions 
which I thought were embodied in a few days afteward in some 
well-written verses in a Charleston paper, on that far-famed 
unequal but successful conflict against tyranny and oppression, 
and suspecting my talented scholar to be the author, I went to 
his desk, and asked him if he did not write them ; and hesitating 
at first, rather blushingly, he confessed he did. I then said, " I 
knew you could do such things, and I suppose you have some 
such pieces by you which I should like to see. Do bring them 
to me." He consented, and in a day or two brought me a number, 
which I read with pleasure and admiration, at the strong marks 
of genius stamped on all, but here and there requiring, as I 
thought, a very slight amendment. 

I had hired a mathematician to teach both him and myself, (for 
I could not then teach that science,) and in this he also made such 
wonderful progress, that at the end of one year he entered the 



b PREFACE. 

Junior Class in Charleston College triumphantly, whilst others 
who had been studying four years and more were obliged to take 
the Sophomore-class. About the end of the year 1828, I left 
Charleston, but I heard that he highly distinguished himself, 
and graduated in 1830. After that he taught Mathematics for 
some time, and then went to study law under a certain celebrated 
Senator. His career afterwards has been one of heroic adventure, 
of hair-breadth escapes by flood and field, and of scientific explo- 
rations, which have made him world-wide renowned. In a letter 
I received from him very lately, he expresses his gratitude to 
me in the following words : "I am very far from either forgetting 
you, or neglecting you, or in any way losing the old regard I had 
for you. There is no time to which I go back with more pleasure 
than that spent with you, for there was no time so thoroughly 
well spent, and of any thing I may have learned, I remember 
nothing so well, and so distinctly, as what I acquired with you." 
Here I can not help saying that the merit was almost all his 
own. It is true that I encouraged and cheered him on, but if 
the soil into which I put in the seeds of learning had not been 
of the richest quality, they never would have sprung up to a 
hundred fold in the full ear. Such, my young friends, is but an 
imperfect sketch of my once beloved and favorite pupil, now a 
Senator, and who may yet rise to be at the head of this great 
and growing Republic. My prayer is that he may ever be 
opposed to war, injustice and oppression of every kind, a blessing 
to his country and an example of every noble virtue to the whole 
world. I could give some other instances of genius in some of 
my former pupils, as well as of great diligence and application, 
but none equal to the one I have here given

ASCENT OF CYEUS. 



BOOK II. 



CHAPTER I. 

1. How indeed then the Grecian f&rce was assembled by 
Cyrus, when he moved with an army against his brother 
Artaxerxes, and what things were done in the up- way, and 
how the battle took place, and how Cyrus died, and how 
the Greeks coming to the camp, went to rest, thinking to 
conquer all things, and Cyrus to be alive — all these have 
been shown in the former discourse. 

2. But along with the day, the generals having come 
together, wondered that Cyrus may not send any one about 
to signify, whatever it behoves the?n to do, nor does he 
himself appear. Therefore it seemed proper to them, having 
packed up what they had, and having armed themselves, to 
proceed in advance, until they might join with Cyrus. 

3. But now they being in motion, along with the rising 
sun came Procles, the commander of Teuthrania, being 
descended from Damaratus. the Lacedaemonian, and Glus, 
the son of Tamos. These said, that Cyrus indeed has died ; 
but Ariseus having fled, was with the other barbarians in 
the station whence they were moved on the former day • 
and that he said, that indeed he might wait for them that day, 
if they are about to come : but on the next, he said, he should 
depart for Ionia, whence he came,

OR, THE ASCENT OP CYRUS. H3 

4. Having heard these words, the generals and the other 
Greeks learning, bore them heavily. But Clearchus spoke 
these words: — u But indeed Cyrus ought to be alive; [i. e., 
I wish Cyrus were alive;] but since he has died, report 
to Ariseus, that we at least conquer the king, and, as you 
see, no one yet fights us; and if you had not come, we 
would have gone against the king. But we announce to 
Ariseus, if he come hither, that we will seat him on the royal 
throne: for it is of those conquering in battle also to rule." 

5. Having said these words, he sends away the mes- 
sengers, and with them Cherisophus, the Laconian, and 
Menon, the Thessalian : for even Menon himself desired it, 
for he was a friend and a guest of Ariseus. 

6. They indeed went away, but Clearchus waited there; 
and the army procured food how they were able, from the 
beasts of burden, cutting up the oxen and asses: and pro- 
ceeding a little way from the phalanx, where the battle was, 
they used for wood both the arrows, being many, (which the 
Greeks compelled those deserting from the king to throw 
down,) and the wicker shields, and the wooden shields of 
the Egyptians, but also many targets, and waggons were 
deserted to be drawn ; all which they using, in cooking, ate 
flesh on that day. 

7. And now it was both about filling market-time, and 
heralds come from the king and Tissaphernes ; the others 
indeed were barbarians, but one of them, Phalynus, was a 
Greek, who happened to be with Tissaphernes, and being in 
honor : for also he assumed to be of the skilful both about 
the ranks and exercise of arms. 

8. But these both having approached, and having called 
the commanders of the Greeks, say that the king orders the 
Greeks, since he happens to be victorious, and has killed 
Cyrus, giving up the arms, and going to the doors of the 
king, to find, if they can obtain any thing favorable.

OR, THE ASCENT OF CYRUS. H5 

9. The heralds of the king spoke indeed these words; but 
the Greeks indeed heard grievously, but nevertheless 
Clearchus spoke this much, that it is not of those conquering 
to give up the arms: but you, indeed, said he, O men, gene- 
rals, answer these words, whatever you have, fairest and 
best, but I will come immediately: for some one of the 
servants called him, in order that he might see the sacred 
things, having been taken out : for he happened to be sacri- 
ficing. 

10. And there Cleanor indeed, the Arcadian, being the 
eldest, answered that he would die, sooner than he would 
give up the arms, and Proxenus the Theban said, but I, O 
Phalynus wonder, whether as conquering, the king asks the 
arms, or as gifts through friendship. For if indeed as con- 
quering, why does it behove him, having come to ask, and 
not to take. But if having persuaded, he wishes to take, let 
him say, what shall be to the soldiers, if they should grant 
these to him. 

11. To these words Phalynus said, the king thinks to 
conquer, since he has killed Cyrus. For who is there who 
contends against him, on account of power? But he even 
thinks you to be his own, having you in the mid-region of 
himself, and within impassable rivers : and being able to lead 
against you a multitude of men, so great as you could not 
kill, though he may give them to you. 

12. After him Theopompus an Athenian said : " O 
Phalynus, now no other thing good is to us, as thou seest, 
if not arms and valor. And therefore, having indeed arms, 
we think also to use valor : but giving up these that we 
should also be deprived of our bodies. Think not then 
that we will deliver up to you, the only good things existing 
to us: but with these, even about your goods, we will fight. 

13. But Phalynus hearing these words, laughed, and 
said : " But indeed thou art like a philosopher, O young 
man, and thou speakest not ungrateful things; know,

however, being rash, if thou thinkest your valor would be 
above the power of the king. 

14. But they said that some others spoke, being rather 
softened, as also they were faithful to Cyrus, and at least 
would be worthy of much to the king, if he may wish to 
become a friend : and whether in any other service, he may 
wish to employ tliem whether to make war upon Egypt, they 
would conquer it with him. 

15. In this time also Clearchus came and asked, if now 
they were answered. And Phalynus replying, said : These 
indeed, O Clearchus [say,] one says one thing, (and 
another says another,) but tell thou to us, what sayest thou. 

16. And he said : I gladly have seen thee, O Phalynus, 
[or, I am glad to see thee,] and also all these others ; for 
thou art both a Greek, and we being so many as thou seest; 
and being in such affairs, [we] consult thee, what it behoves 
to do about what thou sayest. 

17. Then, by the gods, do thou counsel us, whatever 
appears to be fairest and best, and which related will bring 
honor to thee in the time hereafter, that Phalynus, once 
being sent from the king, about to order the Greeks to give 
up their arms, advised them consulting these matters. And 
thou knowest that there is a necessity for it to be told in 
Greece what thou advisest. 

18. And Clearchus suggested these things, wishing also 
the one being ambassabor himself from the king, to advise 
not to give up their arms, in order that the Greeks might be 
more hopeful. And Phalynus turning back, spoke thus con- 
trary to his expectation. 

19. " If indeed, there is to you any one of the ten thousand 
hopes, I advise you to be saved warring against the king, not 
to give up the arms : but if there is no hope of safety, the 
king being unwilling, I advise you to be saved whichever 
way it is possible to you."

20. But Clearchus to these words said : " But on one 
hand indeed, thou speakest these words : but, on the other ', 
report these from us, that we think, (if indeed it behoves us to 
be friends to the king,) we hope to be friends worthy of 
more value having our arms, than having given them to 
another; but if it be necessary to war, that we shall war better, 
having our arms, than having given them up to another." 

21. And Phalynus said, — Even these words indeed we 
will report; but the king also ordered [us] to say these things 
to you, that there may indeed be a truce to you remaining 
there, but war [to you] advancing, and departing. Tell us 
then also about this, whether you will remain, and a truce 
exists, or as [from'] war existing, I shall report from you. 

22. But Clearchus said, — Therefore report also about 
these, that also the same seems proper to us which also 
[seems proper] to the king. What then is that? said Phaly- 
nus. Clearchus answered, — If indeed we remain, treaties; 
but [to us] departing and advancing, war. 

23. And he again asked, — Shall I report treaties or war? 
And Clearchus again answered, — Treaties indeed [to us] 
remaining, but [to us] departing, or advancing — war ! But 
he did not signify what he would do. 



CHAPTER II. 

1. Phalynus indeed now went away, and those with him. 
And those from Ariseus, Procles and Cherisophus, came: 
(but Menon remained there with Ariseus:) and these re- 
ported, that Ariseus says there are many Persians better 
than himself — that these would not bear him reigning : but 
if you wish to go away together, he orders you to come now 
[through] the night : but if not, he says that he will go away 
early. 

2. And Clearchus said, — But it behoves us so to do, if

indeed we come, just as you say ; but if not, do whatever 
thing you think mostly to benefit you. But he did not say 
to them whatever he should do afterwards. 

3. But after this, the sun now setting, having called to- 
gether the generals and captains, he spoke such words : — 
To me, O men, sacrificing to go against the king, the victims 
were not favorable. And with good cause, therefore, they 
were not. For, as I now learn, between us and the king, is 
the river Tigres, passable by ships, which we cannot go 
through without ships : and we have not vessels. Not 
indeed even here at least is it possible also to remain ; for it 
is not possible to get provisions: but the sacrifices were 
entirely fair for us to go to the friends of Cyrus. 

4. Thus then it behoves us to do: — it behoves us, de- 
parting, to sup on whatever any one has; but when one may 
signify with the horn, as if to rest, do you pack up : and 
when the second horn sounds, put your baggage upon the 
beasts of burden : and at the third, follow the one leading, 
keeping indeed the beasts of burden close to the river, but 
the arms outside. 

5. The generals and the captains having heard these 
words, went away, and did so: and thenceforth he indeed 
commanded, and they obeyed, though not having elected him, 
but seeing that he alone possessed mind, such as it behoves 
the commander t@ have, but the others were inexperienced. 

6. And the distance of the road which they came out 
of Ephesus, of Ionia, until the battle, was three and ninety 
stations — parasangs, five and thirty and five hundred — stadii, 
fifty and six thousand and ten thousand ; and the stadii, from 
the battle to Babylon, were said to be sixty and three 
hundred. 

7. From hence, at length, when darkness came on, 
Miltocythes indeed, the Thracian, both having the horse- 
men with himself to forty in number, and about three 
hundred of the Thracians, infantry, deserted to the king,

8. And Clearchus led the others according to what had 
been ordered and they followed : and they come to the first 
station near Ariseus and his army about midnight : and 
having placed their arms in order, the generals and the 
captains of the Greeks came on together near Ariseus : and 
both the Greeks, and Ariseus, and the best of those with 
him, swore not to betray each other, and to be allies : and 
the barbarians swore in addition, and to lead on un- 
deceitfully. 

9. And they swore these things, having slain a boar, and 
a bull, and a wolf, and a ram, — the Greeks indeed dipping 
a sword into the shield, and the barbarians a lance. 

10. And when these pledges were given, Clearchus said: 
"Lead on, then, O Ariseus, since there is the same expedi- 
tion to us and to you ; say what opinion thou hast about 
the march — whether we depart the road by which we came, 
or dost thou seem to have thought any other road 
superior?" 

11. And he said — "If departing indeed by the way 
which we came, we might all perish from hunger, — for now 
there is to us nothing of provision. . For during the last 
seventeen stations, coming hither, we had neither anything 
to take out of the country: and if there was anything there, 
we passing through consumed it. And we now intend, 
indeed, to go a longer road, but one in which we shall not 
want provisions. 

12. " But we must go the first longest stations as we 
may be able, so that we may be greatly removed from the 
royal army: for if once we hold on the road two or three 
days, not any more will the king be able to seize us, for 
indeed he will not dare to follow after us, with a small 
army; and having a large armament, he will not be able to 
go on quickly; and perhaps he will also have a scarcity of 
provisions ; I at least have this opinion," said he. 

13. And this generalship was nothing else than being

able either to run away or to escape : but fortune led us on 
better. For when day came, they went on, having the sun 
on the right, reckoning to come along with the setting sun 
into some villages of the Babylonian region : and in this 
indeed they were not deceived, 

14. And yet about the afternoon, they seemed to see 
hostile horsemen ; and both these of the Greeks who hap- 
pened not to be in their ranks, ran into the ranks, and 
Ariseus, (for he happened to be going upon a waggon, be- 
cause he had been wounded,) descending, armed himself 
with a breast-plate, and those with him. 

15. And while they were arming themselves, the scouts 
sent forward, came saying, that they are not horsemen, but 
beasts of burden were grazing. And immediately all knew, 
that somewhere near, the king was encamped ; for also 
smoke appeared in the villages not far off. 

16. But Clearchus did not indeed lead against the enemy, 
(for he knew the soldiers being both tired and fasting, and 
now also it was late ;) not, however, did he turn away, 
guarding, lest he might seem to flee; but leading straight on, 
along with the setting sun, at the first villages, having them 
very near, he pitched his tent, from which even the very 
wood itself out of the houses had been plundered by the 
royal army. 

17. Those first indeed then in some like manner en- 
camped; and the last in the dark approaching, as every one 
happened were quartered, and they made a great shout, 
calling on one another ; so that even the enemy heard ; so 
that those indeed of the enemy nearest also fled from their 
encampments. 

18. And this was evident on the following day, for 
neither did any beast of burden more appear, nor camp, nor 
smoke, anywhere nigh. And the king also was struck, as 
it seemed, by the approach of the army; and he showed this, 
by what he did on the following day.

19. This night, however, passing on, fear also falls upon 
the Greeks, and there was bustle and noise, such as is likely 
to be from fear falling upon men, 

20. But Clearchus ordered Tolmides, an Elian, whom 
he happened having with himself, the best herald of those at 
that time — him he ordered to proclaim silence, having com- 
manded that the generals declare, whoever may discover the 
one having let loose the ass among the arms, that he shall 
receive as pay a talent of silver. 

21. And when these things were proclaimed, the soldiers 
knew that their fear was vain, and the commanders safe. 
And together with dawn, Clearchus ordered the Greeks to 
put their arms into rank, in which way they had them, when 
the battle was. 



CHAPTER III. 

1. And even from what I wrote, it w r as evident that the 
king was struck with this approach ; for indeed on the day 
before, sending, he ordered tkem to give up their arms ; but 
then with the rising sun, he sent heralds about a treaty. 

2. And when they came to the outguards, they sought 
the commanders. And when the outguards reported Cle- 
archus happening then to be inspecting the ranks, bade the 
outguards order the heralds to wait until he should be at 
leisure. 

3. And when he had placed the army so as to have the 
phalanx to be seen fairly close on every side, and that none 
of the unarmed were visible, he called the messengers, and 
he himself also came forward, having both the best armed, 
and handsomest of his own soldiers, and he told the other

4. And when he was near the messengers, he asked 
what they might want? And they said that they came as 
men about a treaty, who shall be sufficient both to report 
affairs to the Greeks from the king, and affairs from the 
Greeks to the king. 

5. And he {Clear chus) replied: — "Report therefore to 
him, that there is need of a battle first, — for we are in want 
of a dinner ; nor is there one about to dare to speak about a 
truce to the Greeks, not having supplied a dinner." 

6. The messengers having heard this, went away, and 
came quickly back ; (from which also it was evident that 
the king, or some other one, was somewhere near, to whom 
it had been ordered to do this ;) and they said, that they 
seem reasonable things to speak to the king, and they may 
come, having leaders, who shall lead them, if the truce take 
place, whence they will have provisions. 

7. And he (Clearchus) asked: — "Whether he would 
make a treaty for those men going and departing, or would 
a treaty be also for the others?" And they said, "For all, 
until affairs from you be announced to the king." 

8. And when they said this, Clearchus having removed 
them, deliberated ; and it seemed proper to make the treaty, 
and quickly, and in silence, to go both for provisions, and to 
take them. 

9. And Clearchus said, — •' This also indeed seems 
proper to me : not, however, quickly at least will I report ; 
but I will wait until the messengers may be uneasy, lest it 
may not seem proper to us to make a treaty ; however, I 
think at least," said he, " that the same fear will also be 
present to our own soldiers." But when it seemed to be 
time, he announced, that he would make a treaty, and im- 
mediately ordered them to lead on to provisions. 

10. And they indeed led on; Clearchus, however, went, 
being indeed about to make the truce, but having the army 
in rank, and he himself also brought up the rear. And

they met with ditches and canals, full of water, so that they 
were not able to go through without bridges ; but they made 
passages out of the palm trees, which were fallen down, 
and some also they cut down. 

11. And there it was easy to observe Clearchus, as he 
commanded, having indeed the spear in the left hand, and 
a stick in the right: and if any one seemed to him, of those 
appointed, to loiter, selecting the fit one, he would strike 
him, and, at the same time, he himself plunging into the 
mud., would lay hold ; so that it was a shame to all not to 
act zealously with others. 

12. And those indeed having become thirty years of age, 
were ordered by him to the work ; but when they also saw 
Clearchus acting with zeal, the older men also laid hold. 

13. And Clearchus made haste much more, suspecting 
the ditches to be not always so full of water, (for it was not 
the season suitable to water the plain;) but, that now many 
things might appear terrible to the Greeks in the march, on 
account of this, he suspected the king to have let out the 
water upon the plain. 

14. And proceeding, they came into some villages, 
whence the leaders declared they should obtain provisions. 
And much corn was there, and wine of palm-trees, and 
vinegar cooked from the same. 

15. And the very acorns of the palm trees, such indeed 
it is possible to see among the Greeks, were laid by for the 
domestics ; but those laid by for the masters, were chosen, 
wonderful in beauty and in magnitude, and their appearance 
differed nothing from amber; and some drying these, laid 
them by as sweetmeats, and the liquor also from them was 
sweet indeed, but causing headach. 

16. There also the soldiers first ate the pith of the palm 
tree, and most admired both its appearance, and the pecu- 
liarity of its flavor; but this also was exceedingly apt to 
give headach. And the palm tree whence the pith was 
taken out, withered entirely.

17. And there they remained three days; and Tissa- 
phernes came from the great king, and the brother of the 
wife of the king, and three other Persians ; and many 
servants followed. And when the generals of the Greeks 
met them, Tissaphernes first spoke such words through an 
interpreter : — 

18. "I, oh! Grecian men, live a neighbor to Greece; 
and when I saw you having fallen into many evils, and 
without resource, I contrived an invention if somehow I 
might be able to beg from the king to grant me to conduct 
you safely into Greece. For I think to have it not ungrate- 
fully to me, neither from you nor from all Greece ;" — (i. e., 
I think that I shall receive thanks not only from you, but 
from all Greece.) 

19. "And knowing this, I begged the king, saying to 
him, that he would justly gratify me, because I first an- 
nounced Cyrus both making war against him, and at the 
same time, having help, I came with the intelligence : and I 
alone of those arranged against the Greeks did not flee, but 
I drove through, and joined with the king in your camp, 
whither the king came when he killed Cyrus. And I pur- 
sued those barbarians with Cyrus with those now present 
with me, who are most faithful to him. 

20. "And he indeed promised me to deliberate about 
this ; and he desired me, having come, to ask you on what 
account you moved with an army against him. And I ad- 
vise you to answer moderately, that it may be more feasible 
to me, if I may be able to accomplish any good to you 
from him." 

21. At this, the Greeks having withdrawn, did delibe- 
rate, and answered, and Clearchus said: — "We neither 
came together, as about to make war upon the king, nor 
did we go against the king; but Cyrus found many pretences, 
(as thou also hast known well,) that he might both take you 
unprepared, and might lead us hither.

22. " When, however, we now saw him being in an 
awful state, we were ashamed, before both gods and men, to 
betray him, affording ourselves on a former period to be 
well treated by him. 

23. " But since Cyrus hath perished, we neither contend 
against the king for the sovereignty, nor is there any reason, 
on account of which we may wish to treat badly the country 
of the king; nor would we wish to kill him; but we would 
go home, if any one do not molest us ; however, we will try, 
with the gods, to ward off one injuring us: if, however, any 
one also begin treating us well, even for this, we treating 
him well, shall not be overcome, at least, for our ability." 
He indeed thus spoke. 

24. And Tissaphernes having heard, said — M I will report 
these words to the king, and again report to you those from 
him ; but let the truce remain, until I come, and we will 
afford a market.." 

25. And indeed on the next day he did not come, so 
that the Greeks took care ; but on the third coming, he said, 
that he comes, having accomplished with the king, that it 
be granted to him to save the Greeks, although many op- 
posing it, that it would not be becoming the king to let go 
those warring against him. 

26. And in the end, he said — "And now it is permitted 
you to receive pledges from us, that we indeed will afford a 
friendly country to you ; and affording a market, will lead 
you away without treachery into Greece. And wherever 
we do not provide a market, we will permit you to take pro- 
vision out of the place. 

27. "And again it will behove you to swear to us, that 
you will indeed go harmlessly as through a friendly country, 
taking food and drink, whenever we do not afford a market, 
but, if we afford a market, that you buying, shall have pro-

28. These conditions seemed proper ; and they swore, 
and Tissaphernes, and the brother of the wife of the king, 
gave right hands to the generals of the Greeks and to the 
captains, and they received from the Greeks right hands in 
return. 

29. And after this, Tissaphernes, said — " Even now 
indeed I depart to the king, and after I shall have accom- 
plished what I desire, having packed up, I will come as 
about to lead you away into Greece, and I myself departing 
to my own principality. 



CHAPTER IV. 

1. After this, both the Greeks and Ariseus waited for 
Tissaphernes, having encamped near each other more than 
twenty days; and in those days, both the brothers and other 
relations come to Ariaeus, and some of the Persians to those 
with him ; both encouraging, and some bringing right hands — 
(i. e., pledges) — from the king, [saying,] that the king will 
not remember to them the injuries of their expedition with 
Cyrus, nor any other one of those passing by. 

2. And these things taking place, those about Ariseus 
were less manifest applying their mind to the Greeks ; so 
that this also did not indeed please most of the Greeks, 
but approaching, they said to Clearchus and the other 
generals: — 

3. " Why do we remain ? Do we not really know that 
the king would endeavor, beyond everything, to destroy us? 
that fear also may be to the other Greeks to make war 
against the king ? And now indeed he induces us to remain, 
through this, that his army has been dispersed : but when 
an army shall be collected for him again, it is not possible 
how he will not set upon us.

4. "And perhaps somewhere he either digs some ditch. t 
or fortifies some place, that the road may be impassable. For 
he will never at least willingly desire us, having come into 
Greece, to report that we being thus many, conquered the 
army of the king at his own door ; and deriding him, came 
away. 

5. And Clearchus answered those speaking these things : 
" I indeed also think on all these things ; but I consider that 
if we now depart, we shall seem to depart for war, and to 
act contrary to the truce. Moreover first indeed no one 
will afford us a market, nor whence we shall get provisions ; 
and again there will be no one about to lead us ; and at the 
same time, we doing ihese things, Arseus will immediately 
keep away from us ; so that no friend shall be left to us ; 
but even those being so, formerly will be enemies to us. 

6. " But if indeed any other river therefore is also to be 
crossed by us, I know not; but then we know the Euphrates — 
that it is impossible to go through it, the enemy hindering 
us. Not indeed even, if it be necessary to fight, are horses 
as allies to us ; but the horsemen of the enemy are the most 
numerous, and worthy of much praise ; so that conquering, 
indeed, whom could we kill? And indeed I think that 
no one of us being conquered, even able to be saved." 

7. Then indeed as to the king, to whom the allies are so 
many, if he is eager to destroy us, I do not know whatever 
it behoves him to swear, and to give his right hand, and to 
call the gods to witness a falsehood, and to make to the 
Greeks and barbarians the pledges of himself, not to be 
trusted." He said many such things. 

8. And at this time Tissaphernes came, having his own 
force, as departing to his home ; and Orontas, having his 
force, and he also led a daughter of the king to marriage. 

9. And from thence, Tissaphernes now leading on, and 
affording a market, they went on : and Ariseus also went on, 
having the barbaric army of Cyrus, together with Tissa- 
phernes and Orontas, and encamped together with them.

10. But the Greeks suspecting them, went on themselves, 
by themselves, having their leaders. And they encamped 
always holding away a parasang and less from each other, 
and they both guarded against each other as enemies, and 
immediately this afforded a suspicion. 

11. And sometimes also gathering wood out of the same 
place, and collecting grass and other such things, they gave 
blows to each other, so that this also afforded enmity. 

12. And having gone through three stations, they came 
to the wall, called "the wall of Media," and they passed 
withio it ; and it was built with baked bricks, lying in bitu- 
men, of twenty feet in breadth, and in height a hundred, 
and the length was said to be that of twenty parasangs, and 
it was distant not far from Babylon. 

13. And thence they went on two stations, eight para- 
sangs, and they went through two canals, the one indeed 
upon a bridge, and the other having been joined with seven 
vessels ; (and these were from the river Tigris, and from 
them ditches also had been cut in the place, the first 
indeed large, and afterwards less : and at last even little 
channels, as in Greece, upon the panic fields ;) and they 
come to the river Tigris, near to which was a large and 
populous city, the name to which was Sitace, distant from 
the river fifteen stadii. 

14. Then indeed the Greeks encamped near it, near a 
park beautiful and large, and thick with various trees ; but 
the barbarians having gone through the Tigris, were not, 
however, visible. 

15. And after supper, Proxenus and Xenophon hap- 
pened being in a walk before the arms, and a certain man 
approaching, asked the outguards, where he might see Prox- 
enus or Clearchus ; but he did not ask for Menon ; and this, 
too> tltoitgh being from Ariasus, the guest of Menon.

16. And when Proxenus said that, "I am he whom thou 
seekest," the man spoke these words : — " Arieeus sent me 
and Artsezas, being faithful to Cyrus, and kindly disposed 
to you ; and they order you to guard, lest the barbarians 
may set upon you during the night ; and there is a large 
army in the park, near. 

17. " And upon the bridge of the river Tigris they order 
you to send a guard, as Tissaphernes designs to break it 
down by night, if he can, that you may not go through, but 
be taken between the river and the canal." 

18. Having heard this, they lead him to Clearchus, and 
they tell what he says ; and Clearchus having heard, was 
disturbed and feared vehemently. 

19. And a certain young man of those present having 
considered, said : — " That to make an attack, and to break 
down the bridge, would not be a consequent ; for it is evi- 
dent, that it will behove them making an attack, either to 
conquer, or to be conquered. If indeed then they conquer, 
why does it behove them to break down the bridge? for 
neither if there be many bridges, may we have whither 
fleeing we can be saved. 

20. " And if again we conquer, the bridge having been 
broken, they will not have whither they may flee ; nor 
indeed will one be able of the many being beyond, to assist 
them, the bridge having been broken down." 

21. And Clearchus having heard this, asked the mes- 
senger, how great may be the region, that is between the 
Tigris and the canal. And the man said that it is great, 
and there are many and large villages and cities. 

22. And even then it was known, that the barbarians, 
being reluctant, secretly sent the man, lest the Greeks, not 
having gone over the bridge, may remain in the island, 
having fortifications, on one side indeed, the river, and on 
the other, the canal ; and may have provisions from the

region, in the middle, being extensive and good, and those 
residing in it being about to work it; and then also it 
would be a refuge, if any may wish to annoy the king. 

23. And after this, they went to rest: upon the bridge, 
however, they nevertheless sent a guard : and neither did 
any one from any place set on them, nor did any one of the 
enemy come to the bridge, as those guarding reported. 

24. And when morning came, they went over the bridge, 
being joined with thirty and seven vessels, and most guard- 
edly as it was possible : for some of the Greeks from Tissa- 
phernes reported, that they may be about to attack them, 
passing over ; but this indeed was false ; they passing over, 
however, Glus, with others, appeared to them, looking on, 
if they may pass over the river ; and when he saw them 
'passed over, he went away driving on. 

25. And from the Tigres then went on four stations, 
twenty parasangs, to the river Physcus, the breadth of a 
plethrum ; and a bridge was over it. And there was in- 
habited a large city, to which was the name Opis : near 
which the bastard brother of Cyrus and of Artaxerxes met 
the Greeks, leading a great army from Susa and Ecbatana, 
as about to help the king ; and having halted the army of 
himself, he viewed the Greeks passing by. 

26. And Clearchus led on indeed in two abreast, and 
at one time he went on, and at another standing. And as 
long a time as the leading of the army halted, so long a 
time was there a necessity for a halt to be made through the 
whole army; so that the army seemed also to the Greeks 
themselves to be very large, and that the Persian had been 
astonished viewing it. 

27. And thence they proceeded through Media six 
desert stations, thirty parasangs, to the villages of Parysa- 
tis, the mother of Cyrus and of the king. Tissaphernes,

scoffing Cyrus, permitted the Greeks to plunder these, 
except the slaves. And there was in them much corn, and 
many sheep, and other things. 

28. And thence they went on five desert stations, twenty 
parasangs, having the river Tigres on the left. And in the 
first station, beyond the river was inhabited, a city large and 
prosperous, Csenae, as to name, from which the barbarians 
brought on leathern rafts, bread, cheeses, wine.

1. After this, they come to the river Zabatus, the breadth 
of four plethra. And there they remained three days: and 
in these days there were suspicions indeed, but no plot ap- 
pear d visible. 

2. It seemed proper then to Clearchus to meet with 
Tissaphernes, and if somehow he may be able, to stop the 
suspicions before war arise from them : and he sent one 
about to say, that he may want to meet with him, and he 
readily ordered him to come. 

3. And when they came together, Clearchus speaks 
these words : — " I know O Tissaphernes, that oaths indeed 
have been taken by us, and right hands given, not to injure 
each other : but I see thee watching us as enemies. 

4. But when looking closely, I am able neither to per- 
ceive thee trying to treat us badly in anything, and I clearly 
know that we at least neither intend anything such, it 
seemed proper to me to come to conversation with thee, how, 
ii we may be able, we might remove the distrust of each 
other. 

5. w For I also now know men, some indeed out of 
calumny, and also some from suspicion, who fearing each 
other, wishing to be beforehand, before they suffered, did 
incurable evils to those neither being about, nor wishing to 
do any such thing.

6. " Thinking, therefore, such misunderstandings would 
best cease by conversation, I come and I wish to inform 
thee, that thou dost not rightly distrust us. 

7. " For the first indeed and greatest thing is, the oaths 
of the gods hinder us to be hostile to each other, and who- 
ever is conscious to himself, as having disregarded these, 
that man I never would deem happy. For as to a war with the 
gods, I know not, neither with what speed, nor whither any 
one fleeing, could escape, nor into what darkness he might 
run, nor how he might withdraw into a secure place; for all 
things in every way are subject to the gods, and on every 
side the gods govern all equally. 

8. " Even indeed about the gods, and also the oaths, I 
thus know, with whom we establishing a friendship, have 
deposited it, and of human affairs, I at least think thee in the 
present affair, to be the greatest good to us. 

9. " For indeed with thee, all the road indeed to us is 
easy, and every river passable, and there is not a want of 
provisions: but without thee, all the road indeed is through 
darkness, (for we know nothing of it,) and every river diffi- 
cult to pass; and every multitude is terrible, and solitude 
most terrible, for it is full of much difficulty. 

10. "And even if we also being mad, might kill thee, 
what other thing will it be, than, having slain our benefactor, 
we may contend against the king, the great avenger? and 
even I will mention this, of how great hopes also I should 
deprive myself, if I should attempt to do any evil to thee. 

11. " For I desired Cyrus to be a friend to me, thinking 
him of those then in life to be most efficient to benefit any, 
whom he might wish. But now I see thee having both the 
power of Cyrus, and territory, and retaining thy own prin- 
cipality, and the power of the king, this being an ally to 
thee, which power Cyrus experienced hostile. 

12. "And these things being such, who is so mad, who 
wishes not to be a friend to thee 1 But indeed, for I also

will say this, (from which I have hopes, that thou also wilt 
wish to be a friend to us.) 

13. i; For indeed I know of the Mysians being trouble- 
some to you, whom I may hope with my present force to 
render submissive to you : and I also know of the Pisidians: 
and I also hear that there are many other such nations, 
which I think to make to cease always troubling your hap- 
piness. And as to the Egyptians, against whom especially 
I know you now to be enraged, I do not see what power as 
ally you using would better chastise with, than the one being 
now with me. 

14. " But indeed among those at least inhabiting around, 
if thou indeed wish to be a friend to some one, thou mayest 
be a very great one ; and if any one may molest thee as a 
master, thou mayest subdue, having us thy servants, who 
would not only serve thee on account of pay, but even for 
the favor which we being saved under thee would justly have 
for thee. 

15. " To me indeed thinking upon all these things, it 
appears to be so wonderful for thee to distrust us, so that 
also I might pleasantly hear the name of him who is so 
powerful to speak, so as in speaking, to persuade thee that 
we plot against thee." Clearchus indeed then spoke such 
things, and thus Tissaphernes answered . — 

16. " But I am indeed delighted, O Clearchus, hearing 
intelligent words from thee: for knowing this, if thou wish 
any evil to me, thou seemest to me to be also evil-minded to 
thyself. But as thou shouldst learn that you neither justly 
would distrust the king nor me, hear in thy turn. 

17. " For if we wished to destroy you, whether do we 
seem to thee to be in want of a multitude of horsemen, or of 
infantry, or of armor, in which we may be able indeed to 
injure you, but no danger to suffer in return? 

18. " But do we appear to thee to be in want of suitable 
places to attack you ? Do you not with much labor indeed

pass through so many plains being friendly to us, and you see 
so many mountains being to be passed by you, which it is 
permitted us, seizing them previously, to render impassable 
to you 1 but there are so many rivers, at which it is per- 
mitted us to parcel out however many of you we may wish 
to fight? And there are of them, which you could not 
cross at all, unless we may convey you over. 

19. " But if in all these we are conquered, but at least 
the fire is greater than the fruit: which we, having burnt 
down, may be able to oppose famine to you, which you, 
neither if you may be very brave, may be able to fight. 

20. " How then can it be, having so many ways to 
make war against you, and that no one of these [is] dangerous 
to us, moreover out of all these, we may choose the mode, 
which only indeed is impious before gods, and alone base 
before men. 

21. "But it is altogether of those destitute, and without 
resource, and held by necessity, and of those wretched, 
whoever are willing to do anything by perjury, both towards 
gods, and infidelity towards men. Not so are we, O 
Clearchus, nor are we silly, nor inconsiderate. 

22. " But why even, it being in our power to destroy 
you, did we not come upon this? Know well, that my love 
is the cause of this, that for this I shall be faithful to the 
Greeks, and to which foreign force Cyrus trusting through 
pay-giving, went up, that I came down strong in this through 
beneficence. 

23. " And as to what you will be useful to me, these 
thou indeed also hast mentioned, but I know the greatest : 
for indeed it is permitted to the king alone to have the turban 
upright upon the head, but perhaps, you being present, even 
another easily may have it upon the heart." 

24. Having spoken these words, he seemed to Clearchus 
to speak truth : and he said — " Such things being neces- 
sary to us for friendship, are not then those worthy

to suffer the utmost severity, who traducing, try to make us 
enemies. 

25. " And I indeed," said Tissaphernes, " if you wish, 
both the generals, and the captains, to come to me in a 
public manner, I will tell of those saying to me, that thou 
plottest against both me, and the army with me." 

26. "And I," said Ciearchus, "will bring all, and, in 
turn, I will show to thee whence I hear about thee." 

27. After these words, Tissaphernes even then indeed 
showing kindness, both desired him to remain, and made 
him a supper-companion, and on the next day, Ciearchus 
having come to the camp, was both entirely apparent think- 
ing to be situated in a friendly manner with Tissaphernes, 
and told what he reported : he said also that it behoved those 
to go to Tissaphernes whom he ordered, and whoever of the 
Greeks should be convicted traducing, that it behoves them 
as being traitors and evil-minded to the Greeks, to be 
punished. 

28. And he suspected Menon to be the one traducing, 
knowing him also having been with Tissaphernes along with 
Ariseus, and opposing him, and plotting against him, how, 
getting all the army to himself, he may be a friend to Tissa- 
phernes. 

29. And Ciearchus also wished all the army to have 
their attention for. himself, and those vexing him to be out of 
the way. And some of the soldiers opposed him that all the 
captains and generals should not go, nor trust to Tissa- 
phernes. 

30. But Ciearchus contended strongly, until indeed he 
prevailed on five generals and twenty captains to go, and 
also about two hundred of the other soldiers followed to- 
gether, as if to market. 

31. And when they were at the door of Tissaphernes, the 
generals indeed were invited in, Proxenus, a Boeotian, Menon,

Thessalian, Agias, an Arcadian, Clearchus, a Laconian, 
Socrates, an Achaean ; but the captains remained at the 
door. 

32. And in not much time after from the same si anal, 
both those within were seized, and those without were cut 
down. And after this, some of the barbarian horsemen 
scouring through the plain, killed all, whatever Greek they 
met, either slave or free. 

33. And the Greeks looking out from the camp, won- 
dered at both the riding of them, and doubted, what they 
were doing, before Nicarchus, an Arcadian, came fleeing, 
having been wounded in the belly, and holding the entrails 
in the hands, and related all that had occurred, 

34. After this, therefor, the Greeks ran to their arms, 
all having been struck, and thinking they would come im- 
mediately to the camp. 

35. But they came not indeed all, but Ariaeus, and Ar- 
taozus, and Mithridates, who were most faithful to Cyrus : 
and the interpreter of the Greeks said also that he saw the 
brother of Tissaphernes with them, and that he knew him: 
and also others of the Persians, armed with cuirasses, to 
three hundred, followed them. 

36. When these were near, if there may be any of the 
Greeks, either general or captain, they desired him to 
approach, that they should report affairs from the king. 

37. With this there came forth of the Greeks, watchful 
indeed, the Generals Cleanor, an Orchomenian, and Sophas- 
netus, a Stymphalian, and with them Xenophon, an Athe- 
nian, that he might learn affairs about Proxenus, (And 
Cheirisophus happened being absent in some village with 
others getting provision.) 

38. And when they stood within hearing, Ariaeus 
says : — " Clearchus indeed, O Greeks, since he has appeared 
both swearing falsely and breaking the treaty, has been 
punished and has died : but Proxenus and Menon, because

they denounced his plot, are in great honor : bat the king 
demands of you the arms : for he says that they are his, 
since they were those of Cyrus his servant. 

39. To this the Greeks answered, (and Cleanor, the Orcho- 
menian, said,) O Ariseus, worst of men, and the others, as 
many as were friends of Cyrus, respect you neither gods nor 
men, who having sworn to think the same friends and ene- 
mies to us, betraying us, with Tissaphernes helping you, both 
the most godless, and most crafty, have thus destroyed both the 
very men, to whom you swore, and having betrayed us the 
others, you come upon us with our enemies. 

40. And Ariseus said : for Clearchus was visible before 
plotting against both Tissaphernes and Orontas, and all us 
who are with them. 

41. And upon this, Xenophon said these words : Clear- 
chus indeed therefor, if, contrary to the oaths, he has 
broken the treaty, suffers punishment : (for it is just that 
those swearing falsely, perish.) But since Proxenus and 
Menon are your benefactors indeed, but our generals, send 
them hither : for it is evident, that, at least being friends to 
both, they will try to advise the best things, both to you and 
to us." 

42. In regard to these things, the barbarians, having 
conversed a long time with each other, went away, having 
answered nothing. 



CHAPTER VI. 

1. Even the generals indeed being thus taken, were led 
up to the king, and being cut off [as to their] heads, 
perished : one of them indeed, Clearchus, by the consent of 
all those having any experience of him, appearing to have 
been a man both extremely warlike and fond of war.

2. For even also, whilst indeed there was war to the 
Lacedaemonians with the Athenians, he remained near : but 
when peace came, having persuaded his own city that the 
Thracians injure the Greeks, and having accomplished as 
he was able with the Ephori, he sailed away as about to make 
war on the Thracians above the Chersonese, and Perinthus. 

3. But when the Ephori somehow having changed their 
mind, he now being away, tried to bring him back from the 
Isthmus, there no more is he persuaded, but he went away 
sailing to the Hellespont. 

4. And from this he was condemned to die by the digni- 
ties — [i. e., chief magistrates] — in Sparta, as being disobedient. 
But now being a fugitive, he comes to Cyrus, and it has been 
said elsewhere with what words indeed he persuaded Cyrus. 
But Cyrus gives to him ten thousand dories. 

5. And he having taken it, turned not to indolence, but 
with this money having collected an army, he made war 
upon the Thracians, and both conquered them in battle, and 
from that time plundered and wasted them ; and he con- 
tinued making war till what time Cyrus had need of his 
army: and then he went away, as with him again about to 
make war. 

6. These then seem to be the actions of a man fond of 
war, who, it being permitted indeed to lead peace — (i. e., to 
live in peace) — without shame and harm, chooses to make 
war : and it being permitted to have wealth without danger, 
chooses, by making war, to make it less. And he was 
willing to spend on war, just as on amours, or on any other 
pleasure : to such a degree indeed therefor was he fond of 
war. 

7. And again he seemed to be warlike in this way, that 

he was both fond of danger, and by day and night leading 

on against the enemy, and prudent in terrible affairs, as all 

being present, everywhere agreed.

8. And he was said also to be fit to rule, as it was pos- 
sible from such a manner as he also had. For indeed he 
was sufficient to take care as even any other, how his army 
skill have provisions, and to prepare them : and also com- 
petent to impress those present, that obedience must be given 
to Clearchus. 

9. And he effected this from being severe. For also 
he was stern to behold: and rough in the voice: and 
always chastised rigorously, and sometimes in anger, so that 
it even repented him, it is when — [i. £., occasionally.] And 
he also chastised from principle: for he thought the utility 
of an army unpunished to be nothing. 

10. But they also reported him to say, that it behoves 
the soldier to fear the commander more than the enemy, if 
he is about either to keep guard, or to hold off from friends, 
or promptly to go against the enemy. 

11. Therefore in awful affairs indeed the soldiers were 
very willing to obey him, and did not seek another. For 
they also declared his sternness in the face then to appear 
cheerful, and his surliness seemed to be powerful against the 
enemy: so that it appeared salutary, and no more surly. 

12. But when they were without danger, and it was 
permitted to go to other chiefs, many left him : for he 
had not an agreeable manner, but was always harsh arid 
severe: so that the soldiers were towards him, just as boys 
towards a teacher. 

13. And therefore he never indeed had them following 
him from friendship, and good will : but whoever having 
been ordered either by the state, or being held by some need, 
or some other necessity, obeyed him, whom he experienced 
very submissive. 

14. And also when they began to conquer the enemy

with him, there were now some things great, causing the 
soldiers with him to be useful ; for both the having themselves 
boldly against the enemy was present, and the dreading of 
punishment from him made them orderly. 

15. Even such indeed was he as a commander; but he 
was said not to be very willing to be commanded by others. 
And he was, when he died, about fifty years of age. 

16. And. Proxenus, the Boeotian, being indeed a youth, 
forthwith desired to be a man competent to do great things; 
and through this desire, he gave money to Gorgias, the 
Leontian. 

17. And when he was with him, thinking now to be 
competent also to command, and being a friend to chief men, 
not to be conquered conferring benefits, he came into those 
actions with Cyrus: and he expected to acquire from these 
a great name, and great power, and much wealth. 

18. And desiring these, he had it also again very evident, 
that he wished to acquire none of these with injustice, but 
with justice and honor he thought he ought to obtain these, 
but not, without them. 

19. And he was able indeed to command honorable and 
good men ; not however sufficient to impress upon the soldiers 
a respect of himself nor fear, but he even stood more in awe 
of the soldiers, than those commanded stood in awe of him ; 
and more afraid was he evident to incur the hatred of the 
soldiers, than the soldiers the distrusting of him. 

20. And he thought to be, and to seem to suffice for 
capability in ruling, to praise the one indeed doing well, but 
not to praise the one injuring. Wherefor the honorable 
indeed and good of those with him, were well disposed to 
him, but the unjust plotted against him, as being easy to be 
managed. And when he died, he was almost of thirty 
years.

21. And Menon, the Thessalian, was apparent desiring 
indeed greatly to be rich, but desiring to rule, that he may 
acquire more: and desiring to be honored, that he may gain 
more : he wished also to be a friend to those being able to do 
the most, that injuring, he might not surfer punishment. 

22. And for the effecting of what he desired, he thought 
the shortest road to be both through false swearing, and de- 
ceiving and imposing, — but thought both integrity and truth 
to be the same with folly. 

23. And he was visible indeed loving no one, but to 
whomsover he professed to be a friend, he was manifest 
plotting against him. And he derided no enemy indeed, but 
always talked as deriding all those being with him. 

2-i. And he did not indeed plot against the possessions 
of the enemy; (for he thought^ to be difficult to take the 
property of those guarding ;) but he alone thought he 
knew that it is easy to take the property of friends as un- 
guarded. 

25. And tlwse whom indeed he perceived perjured and 
unjust, he feared as well armed : but he tried to use the holy, 
and those exercising truth, as unmanly. 

26. And just as any one delights in piety, and in truth 
and justice, so Menon delighted in being able to deceive, in 
framing lies, in mocking friends ; and he thought the man 
not crafty, to be of the uninstructed. And with whom indeed 
he attempted to be first in friendship, he thought that he 
ought to acquire these by traducing the first. 

27. And he contrived to render the soldiers obedient 
from injuring along with them. And he expected to be 
honored and to be attended, showing, that he may be able and 
may be willing to injure the most. And he reckoned it a 
good deed, when any one withdrew from him, that having 
made use of him he had not destroyed him.

28. And indeed even as to things invisible, it is permitted to 
be deceived about him ; but these are things which all know. 
With Arfstippus indeed being yet in the prime of life, he 
obtained to command the foreigners ; and being yet in his 
prime, he was most intimate with Ariseus, being a barbarian, 
because he delighted in beautiful youths ; and he himself 
being beardless, had Tharypas, a full-grown man, in 
amours. 

29. And his fellow-officers dying, because with Cyrus 
they made war against the king, though having done the 
same, he did not die then; but after the death of the other 
generals, being punished by the king, he died; not as 
Clearchus and the other, being cut off as to their heads, 
(which seems to be the speediest death,) but living a year 
being treated indignantly, as wretched, he is said to have 
met his end. 

30. But Agias, the Arcadian, and Socrates, the x\chsean, 
these two also died; but not did any one deride these as 
cowardly in battle, nor blamed them with regard to friend- 
ship ; and they were both about forty yews of age from their 
birth.

DEMOSTHENES' 

OLYNTHIAC ORATIONS. 



ORATION I. 

1. O ! Athenians, I think you would prefer instead of 
much wealth, if this, about which you deliberate now, about 
to be useful to the city, were made evident. 

2. Since then this is so, it behoves you to be willing to 
hear eagerly those wishing to counsel you. For, if any one 
come, having thought on any thing useful, having heard *£, 
not only would you receive this ; but even I regard as an 
effect of your fortune, many of these things necessary would 
come immediately to some to say, so that the choice of tho 
useful would become easy to you out of all counsels. 

3. Then, O Athenians, the present time indeed putting 
forth a voice, almost says, that there is to yourselves a 
seizing of those things, — (i. e., you must lay hold of these 
affairs yourselves,) — if at all you are concerned for the safety 
of yourselves. But I do not know what disposition we 
appear to me to have with regard to them. Now these are 
the tilings appearing proper to me, on one hand to decree 
immediately assistance, and to prepare, (in the way) the most 
speedy, that you may help from this city, and that you may 
not suffer the same which you suffered also before : but that 
you send an embassy which will declare these things, and 
shall attend to these affairs : as this fear is especially that lie

Demosthenes' olynthiac orations. 173 

being an enterprising man, and powerful to make use of 
affairs, yielding indeed in some things when he may meet 
them, and threatening [in] some things, (but he would ap- 
pear justly faith-worthy in his threats,) but in some things 
accusing us and our absence, lest he turn away, and draw 
to himself something of all the affairs of Greece. 



4. But opportunely, Athenians, that, which is the most 
formidable of the affairs of Philip, is also the best for you. 
For that he being one is master of all, both of things spoken, 
and not spoken, and, at the same time, general, and sove- 
reign, and umpire, and is present himsel'f everywhere with 
the army, contributes much indeed to executing promptly, and 
in time, the affairs of the war, but he is in opposition to the 
reconciliation which he being pleased would make with the 
Olynthians: for it is evident to the Olynthians that now they 
war not for glory, nor for a portion of country, but about 
the ruin and enslavement of the country; and they know 
what he did to those of the Amphipolitans, giving up the 
city to him, and to those of the Pydnians having received 
him : and royalty is a [thing], I think, generally suspicious 
to republics, and especially if also they have a neighboring 
country. 

5. Then I say that it behoves you, O Athenians, know- 
ing this, and thinking on all the other matters which it be- 
comes you, to be willing, and to be stirred up, and to apply to 
the war, and now, if ever, contributing money eagerly, and 
going out to fight yourselves, and omitting nothing. For 
neither reason nor pretence of not wishing to do the things 
necessary is any longer left to you. 

6. For what you all would say, that it is necessary to 
incite to war the Olynthians against Philip, has happened of 
itself, and these things have happened that they may especially

aid you. For indeed if being persuaded by you they had 
undertaken the war, they would perhaps be allies unsafe, 
and having thought of these things until a certain \time\; 
but since they hate him on account of his criminations 
against them, it is likely that they have a steadfast hatred 
for what they dread, and have suffered. 

7. Surely, oh ! Athenians, it does not behove you to let 
slip such an occasion happening, nor to suffer the same 
thing, which already you have suffered often before. For if 
when we came, having assisted the Eubseans, and icken 
Hierax and Stratocles, deputies of the Amphipolitans, came 
to this tribunal, ordering you to set sail and to take their city 
under you, had we displayed also for ourselves the same 
ardor, which we displayed for the safety of the Eubseans, 
you would then have Amphipolis, and you would be de- 
livered from all those affairs after these : and again when 
Pydna, Potidse, Methone, and Pagasse, and other places^ 
(that I may not detain you mentioning them one by one,) 
were announced being besieged, if then we ourselves had 
assisted one of these cities, the first attacked eagerly, and as 
it became us, we would now find Philip more easy, and 
much more humble. But now indeed always abandoning 
the present, but thinking things about to be of themselves 
favorable, we have both aggrandized Philip, O Athenians, 
and we have made him so great, such as never any king of 
Macedonia has been. 

8. But now an occasion comes : — What is it ? This, 
that of the Olynthians to the city, of its own accord, which 
is less than any one of those before. And any one would 
appear to me indeed, being established a just calculator of 
things granted to us from the the gods, O! Athenians, 
although many things not being as it behoves them 
to be, yet that they have great gratitude to them with 
reason. For indeed any one will justly attribute from our 
negligence the having lost many things during the war:

but I indeed would place as a good deed of benevolence 
from them the not having suffered this for a long time, and 
the having shown to us a certain alliance capable of repair- 
ing those evils, if we wish to make use of them. But I think 
that what is also about the possession of riches is similar. 
For indeed if any one preserve also what things he has re- 
ceived, he has great gratitude for fortune; but if he dissipate 
them unknowingly, he dissipates also the remembering of 
gratitude to fortune. \It is] thus also about affairs. Some 
men not rightly having made use of opportunities, neither re- 
member if anything useful has happened from the gods • for 
every thing of those preceding is judged for the most part 
according to the thing happening last. Wherefore also it 
behoves you, O ! Athenians, to think strongly of things re- 
maining, that having redressed these affairs, we may efface 
the dishonor on those things done. 

9. But if, O! Athenians, we also abandon these men — if 
he subjects Olynthus — let any one tell me what will be the 
thing still hindering him to march where he wishes ? Now 
does any one of you, O ! Athenians, reflect and consider the 
manner by which Philip being weak at the beginning, be- 
came great? First, having taken Ampbipolis, — after that, 
Pydna, — afterwards, Potidea, — then, Mythone, — then, he in- 
vaded Thessaly: after that, having disposed of Pheres, and 
Pagasy, and Magnesia, [in] every way which he wished, he 
went away into Thrace, then there, on one hand, having 
driven away some [of the kings,]and, on the other, having 
placed iqwn the throne others of the kings, he became sick ; 
having again become well, he did not incline to idleness, but 
immediately attacked the Olynthians ; but I pass over his 
expeditions against the Illyrians and the Peonians, and 
against Arymbas, and wherever any one might say. 
u Why, then," some one may say, " sayest thou these 
things now to us?" It is, that you may know, O Athe- 
nians, and perceive both affairs, and how the abandoning

THE SECOND PART. 

MEANS OF CAUSING THE EXPEDITION TO SUCCEED.

always one by one any one of the affairs [is] injurious, and 
the mad ambition which Philip makes use of \ and with which 
he lives towards all, from which there is not a icay how 
being content with things done, he shall have rest. But if, 
indeed, he shall be thoughtful, as it behoves always, to do 
something greater than the present, and if we think that we 
must perform no one of our affairs with ardor, consider if 
any hope is ever to terminate these : by the gods, who is 
there of you so simple, who does not know that the war is 
about to come from thence hither, if we take not care ? But 
yet if this happen, I fear, O! Athenians, lest in the same 
manner as those lending and abounding easily in interest 
great for a little while, afterwards are deprived even of 
their old property, so also I fear lest we appear idle at much 
expense, and seeking all things for pleasure, I fear that at 
last we may come to a necessity of doing many things and 
troublesome, which we would not wish to do, and I fear that 
we would risk danger about property in the country itself. 

10. Now then, some one will say, perhaps, that to blame 
is more easy, and in the power of every man, but to discover 
respecting present affairs, what becomes us to do — that this 
is the part of an adviser. But I, O ! Athenians, am not 
ignorant of this, that often you treat in anger those not 
guilty, but the latter having spoken about affairs, if anything 
happen not according to your expectation. Not, however, 
do I think, at least, that it behoves one considering the 
private safety, to dissemble about what things I think to be 
useful to you. I say then that there is to you a necessity in 
two ways to bring help to your affairs, both by saving the 
towns to the Olynthians, and sending some soldiers about to 
do that ; and by treating his country badly, both by triremes, 
and by other soldiers.

11. But if you neglect one of these, I fear lest the expe- 
dition may become useless to us, for if you treating his 
country badly, he suffering this, will subject Olymhus, 
having gone to his own country he will easily defend it: if 
you having given help only to Olynthus, seeing his affairs 
at home being without danger, he will encamp near, and 
attend to his affairs, and will reduce, in time, the beseiged. 
It behoves then assistance to be great and two-fold. 



12. And indeed I think these things, regarding assist- 
ance. But about the supply of money ; there is money to 
you, O Athenians, — there are military funds to you, which 
are to no one of other men. But you take this money 
thus as you wish. Then in truth if you pay this 
money to those warring, there is need to you of no other 
supply: but if not, there is need of it, and rather there is 
need of every supply. " What then," would any one say, 
"dost thou propose this money to be military?" [i.e., for 
tlie war.] By Jupiter, not I, indeed ; for in truth, I think it 
becomes soldiers to be raised, and it behoves this money to 
be military, — (i. e., raised for war) — and a single mode to 
be the same, both of recovering, and of doing things neces- 
sary. But you take it thus for your feasts in some way, 
without affairs — (i. e., without utility.) Then it is remain- 
ing, I think, that all contribute much, if there is need of 
much : little, if there is need of little. Surely, there is need 
of money, and without this, not one of those things neces- 
sary, is to be. But other orators mention also some other 
means, of which ye will choose whatever may appear to 
you to profit, and undertake affairs, whilst there is time.

14. But it is proper to reflect and to reason upon affairs, 
in what state those of Philip are now established. For neither 
the present affairs are found with him very excellent, (as it 
appears, and as any one would say, not considering them 
exactly,) nor as very illustrious : neither would he have ever 
undertaken this war, if he had thought that he would need 
to make war. But he hoped to gain all these things then, 
when having come : and then he has been deceived. Now 
this first affair happening contrary to his expectation, 
troubles him, and causes great discouragement to him : then 
the affairs of the Thessalians trouble him. For, these 
people were indeed faithless, even always to all men cer- 
tainly by nature, and they are even now towards him 
entirely as they were always. For they arc even deter- 
mined to ask back from him Pagasee ; and have hindered 
him to fortify Magnesia. 



15. And I have heard from some that they would 
neither grant to him any more to enjoy their ports and 
boundaries ; for it behoves them to administer the common 
property of the Thessalians from that which it would not 
behove Philip to obtain. And if he be deprived of this 
money, that money for the maintainance to foreign troops 
will be reduced to him quite to a strait. But indeed it be- 
hoves us to think the Pseonian and the Illyrian, and, in a 
word, all those would be more willingly independent and 
free, than slaves: for also they are unaccustomed to obey 
any one, and the man Philip is insolent, as they say. And, 
by Jupiter, nothing perhaps in that is incredible : for to do 
well against merit becomes to senseless people an occasion 
for thinking badly: wherefore often to guard property seems 
to be more difficult than to acquire it. 

16. Then it behoves you, O! Athenians, thinking upoa

the unfavorable time of this man, to be your opportunity to 
push forward promptly your affairs, and sending deputies to 
those jiloxes to which it behoves you, and making war your- 
selves, and inciting all others, reflecting that if Philip take 
such an occasion against us, and if the war happen in our 
country, how promptly do you think him about to come 
against us ? Then do you not blush, if you dare not, not 
having an opportunity, to do those things which you would 
suffer if he were able. 



17. Therefore, O Athenians, let not this still escape 
your notice, that there is a choice to you now whether it be- 
hoves you to war there, or him to war with you here. For 
indeed if the affairs of the Olynthians resist, you will make 
war there, and you will treat badly — (i. e., ravage it) — the 
country being possessed by him, and enjoying fearlessly 
this your own country : but if Philip seize those possessio?is 
of the Olynthians, who will hinder him even to march 
hither? The Thebans 1 I fear lest it may be too disagree- 
able to say they will join readily with him. But will the 
Phocians? Those not being capable to defend their own 
country, if you do not assist them. Or will any other assist 
them ? But O ! my friend, says one, he will not attempt it. 
And would it not indeed be of the most unpleasant affairs, 
if being able he shall not do those things, which though in- 
curring folly, he yet utters now. But truly I think we shall 
neither need a discourse to show how great at least is the 
difference to make war here or there. For if it behoved 
you yourselves to be abroad thirty days only, and to take 
of those things from the country, which tliere is necessity 
to obtain, making use of an army, (I speak of no enemy 
being in the country itself,) I think your cultivators would 
experience more than what has been expended for all that 

war before. But surely if anv war come, how much does it

behove us of experiencing loss ? and insult will be added 
and even the shame of our affairs less than any loss at least 
to wise men. 

18. It behoves them all beholding these things, to assist, 
and to drive war hence: on one hand, the rich, so that 
sacrificing small things for great things which they doing 
well possess, and enjoy the rest without fear ; but it behoves 
those in age to carry arms, that having acquired the expe- 
rience of warring in the country of Philip, they become 
formidable guards of the nviolate country : and it behoves 
the orators that the accounts of affairs administered become 
easy to them : as you shall be also to them such judges of 
things done, as shall be the affairs which shall establish you. 
And may tJiosse be favorable to every citizen.

Subject of the Discourse. — The request of the Olynthians had been 
granted. A decree promised them assistance, the sending of which 
was delayed by the fear which the Athenians had of engaging in a 
war with an enemy so formidable as Philip. Exordium by insinu- 
ation — the war which is kindled between Philip and a people so 
near his states, is a sensible proof of the good-will of the gods for 
the Athenians.

ORATION II. 

1. Some one indeed seems to me to have seen, O ! Athe- 
nians, the benevolence of the gods become visible to the 
state, in many things, but not less in the present affairs. 
For that there have arisen those warring against Philip, 
possessing also a bordering country, and a certain power, and 
(the greatest thing of all) having the purpose for war such; 
as to think treaties with him to be, first indeed, faithless, 
then, the ruin of their own country, appears by a certain 
godlike benevolence and altogether divine. Therefor, O ! 
Athenians, it behoves ourselves to consider this now, how 
we shall not appear worse towards ourselves than our 
present circumstances, as it is of shameful things ; but 
rather of very shameful things to appear not only abandon- 
ing cities and places of which we were formerly masters, 
but even abandoning both allies and opportunities furnished 
by fortune. 

2. Then indeed, O ! Athenians, I think to go over the 
force of Philip, and to excite you by these discourses to do 
the things necessary to be not well — (i. e., useless.) Why? 
Because all things which any one may say about these 
forces, appear to me indeed to have a certain glory for 
him, and to have been done not well for us. For indeed

this man is thought by all so much more astonish- 
ing as he has done more things above the merit of 
himself: but you have incurred shame by so much 
greater as ye have served affairs worse than it behoved. I 
shall indeed pass by then these. For also, O Athenians, if 
any one would consider with truthfulness, he would see him 
having become great thence — (i. e. by your means)- — not 
by himself. Then I do not see now the time to speak of 
those things of which indeed he owes the favor to those 
citizens governed for him (i. e. in his interest), but for which 
it behoves you to inflict punishment : but I shall endeavor to 
mention those things which are still apart from these, and 
which it is important for you all to know, and which, O ! 
Athenians, would appear against him a great reproach to 
those wishing to judge rightly. Then indeed some one 
would say justly, that to call Philip perjured and faithless, 
without showing the things done, is a vain defamation. 
But also it is meet that the going over all those which he 
has ever done, to convict him upon them all, need a short 
discourse ; and I think those to have been mentioned, will 
profit on account of two reasons ; and for this, that he ap- 
pear base, (which even is found true,) and for this, that those 
admiring Philip with fear, as one invincible, should see that 
he has passed by all those by which having previously de- 
ceived, he has now become great, and that his affairs come 
to the same end. 



3. For indeed, O ! Athenians, I would also myself think 
Philip to be very formidable and wonderful, if seeing him 
become great doing things just : but now contemplating and 
considering, I find him having deceived, on one hand, our 
simplicity, in the beginning, when some citizens drove the 
Olynthians hence, wishing to speak with us, by this,

in professing to deliver up Amphipolis, and preparing 
secretly that affair, formerly noised abroad, and having 
surprised the friendship of the Olynthians after this, in 
seizing Potidsea, being ours, and indeed to have injured us 
previously his allies, and to deliver it to them, and as to the 
last affairs, the Thessalians, by promising to give up Mag- 
nesia, and to profess to make war for them, viz., the Phocian 
war. And, upon the whole, there is no one of those having 
served him whom he has not deceived, for deceiving and 
attracting to himself always the ignorance of all those not 
knowing him he has become great thus. Then as he has 
been raised great through these means, when all thought 
him to do something useful for them : so it also behoves 
to be reversed again by those same means, since he has 
been convicted doing all things for himself. Now indeed, 
O 1 Athenians, affairs are with Philip at this point of time, 
either let some one advancing, show to me, (but rather to 
you,) either that I do not speak these things true, or that they 
having been deceived at first will believe him as to the rest, 
or as the Thessalians having been subjected contrary to 
their merit, would not become willingly free. 



4. And indeed if any one of you really thinks these to be so, 
but supposes him to retain by force his affairs, by possessing 
himself beforehand of fortresses and ports, and such like places, 
he does not think wisely. For indeed when affairs are 
regulated by benevolence, and when the same things con- 
tribute to all those participating in the war, men wish also to 
labor together, and to support reverses, and to remain 
faithful; but when any one is strong, as this man, by 
covetousness and wickedness, the first occasion, and a slight 
shock, reverses and discomfits all affairs. For it is not 
possible — it is not possible, O ! Athenians — that a man 
acting unjustly, and being perjured, and telling falsehoods,

shall possess a durable force : but such things endure indeed 
for a time, and for a short time, and flourish very much 
according to hopes, if it happen, but with time they are 
surprised, and fall into ruin of themselves. For I think, as 
it behoves these things in the lower part of a house, and of a 
ship, and of other such things, to be very strong, so it is 
proper also for the principles and foundations of actions to 
be true and just. But now this is not in those things done 
by Philip. 

Now I say that it behoves you at once, indeed, to assist 
the Olynthians, and it pleases me thus how any one speaks 
illustriously and promptly ! and to send to the Thessalians a 
deputation which shall make known these things to them, 
and shall animate them. For they too have now resolved to 
re-demand Pagasse, and to make speeches about Magnesia. 
Nevertheless, observe, O ! Athenians, so that the deputies 
from us shall not only utter speeches, but shall even have to 
show some action, we having gone out against the enemy 
in a manner worthy of the city, and of those being employed 
in our affairs : as indeed every speech, if our actions are 
wanting, appears something vain and empty, but especially 
the message from our city. For all distrust it by how 
much more we seem to make use of it most promptly. But 
you must show a considerable change, and a great altera- 
tion, contributing means, and going out against the enemy, 
doing all things promptly, if indeed any one shall apply the 
mind to you — (i. e., if you wish anyone to give heed to you.) 
And if you wish to end these affairs as it is proper, and it 
behoves you, not only, O ! Athenians, the allies will appear 
being weak and faithless to Philip, but even the affairs of 
his own realm, and of his own power shall be found being 
in a bad state.

by part of an addition, indeed, is some power, not 
small as it was once to you, under Timotheus against the 
Olynthians : yet, again this, a power united vnth them, 
seemed to be something to the Olynthians against Potidsea : 
but now it has assisted the Thessalians, discordant and 
agitated by factions and harassed against the tyrannical 
family ; and I think all things profit where any one adds 
power though small : but this state by itself is weak, and 
full of many evils. For even he (Philip) by all these 
things by which any one might think him great, by wars, 
and expeditions has rendered it for himself yet weaker 
than it was by nature. 



6. For, do not think, O Athenians, that both Philip and 
his subjects rejoice in the same things; but he, indeed, 
desires glory, and seeks it, and is determined, agitating 
and exposing himself to danger, to suffer, if any thing 
reverse happen, preferring the glory of having accomplished 
those things which no other king of the Macedonians has 
ever done, instead of living securely : but indeed, there is not 
to them any of that ambition for these things ; but always 
tormented by those expeditions, on this side and on that, 
they grieve and are constantly unfortunate, suffered to 
remain neither at their toils, nor at their own affairs ; nor 
being able to arrange these which they have acquired, so 
as they may be able, the markets in the country having 
been closed on account of war. 



.7. Then, indeed, some one might observe not difficultly from 
these, how the most of the Macedonians are in feeling towards 
Philip ; and certainly the foreigners and select infantry being 
about him, have indeed a fame that they are admirable and 
well exercised in the things of war; but as I have heard

from some one of those men born in that country, a man 
capable in no way to falsify, they are not better than any 
others. For indeed, if there is any man such among them 
experienced in war and battles, he declared to me that 
he expels all those indeed from jealousy, wishing all his 
works to appear to be his own, for said lie to me, again 
besides these other affairs that also the jealousy of the man 
is excessive, but if any one modest or otherwise just, not 
able to bear the intemperance of his life every day and his 
drunkenness and buffooneries, — that such a man is despised, 
and is in the part of nothing; (i. e., regarded as nothing,) 
thus, said he, that robbers and flatterers and such like men 
being drunk do perform such dances as .1 now dread to name 
before you, are remaining about him. Now it is evident 
that these things are true, for also he loves and has about 
himself those whom all have driven hence as being much 
more wicked than the doers of wonders — that man Callias, 
the public slave, and such men, imitators of buffoons and 
makers of shameful songs which they make against men, 
being with them for the sake of being laughed at. 



8. And, indeed, these things if even any one think them 
little, are O ! Athenians to men thinking wisely great proofs 
of the character and of the evil genius of him, Philip. 
But I think his succeeding now indeed obscures these, for 
these successes are powerful to conceal, and to obscure such 
dishonors ; but if any thing should check, then all these 
infamies of him shall be disclosed accurately. And he seems 
to me, O ! Athenians, to show z£ in no longtime, if even the gods 
will it, and you resolve it. For as in our bodies indeed, whilst 
any one is strong, he perceives nothing of each one of the 
parts affected, but when any infirmity happens, all the parts 
are moved, even if it is a fracture, and if it is a dislocation, 
even if any other thing of the parts existing be affected,

thus these evils both of the cities and of tyrants indeed, 
whilst they make war abroad are invisible to the many, but 
when a neighbouring war is engaged in, it renders all these 
tilings visible. 



9. But if any one of you 5 G ! Athenians ! seeing Philip 
prospering by that think it formidable to make war against 
him, he, indeed, uses the reasoning of a wise man, for 
fortune is a great w 7 eight, but rather it is every thing in all 
affairs of men. But not indeed I, at least, if any one should 
give me the choice, would choose the fortune of our city 
(yourselves being willing to do what things it behoves even 
in a small measure) than the fortune of him : for I see very 
many occasions for having good will from the gods, existing 
to you rather than to him, but I think we sit down doing 
nothing : and it is not "permitted that the one being idle 
shall not again order his friends to do something for him ; 
certainly not the gods to do something/or him. Truly, it is 
not astonishing, if he, Philip himself making war and 
laboring, and present at all affairs, and passing by no 
oceasion nor season, is superior to you, delaying and decree- 
ing, and inquiring. Indeed I do not wonder at this : for the 
contrary would be astonishing if we doing nothing of what 
things it behoves those making war, we would be superior 
to him doing the things which it behoves him. But I 
wonder at this, if, O ! Athenians, you had indeed declared 
war against the Lacedaemonians for the just rights of the 
Greeks : and the power being given to you several times to 
acquire much for yourselves, you did not wish it, but paying 
contributions you defrayed your own expenses, and warring, 
you endangered yourselves, so that the others might obtain 
their rights : but now you hesitate to go forth, and you delay to 
contribute for your own possessions: and indeed you have often

saved all others, and during each year in part [i. e., alter- 
nately,] but you have sat down having lost your own. 1 
wonder at this, and yet in addition to this, if not one of you 
O ! Athenians, is able to calculate how long time you war 
against Philip, and you doing what, all that time passed 
away ; for certainly you know this, that the whole time has 
passed by, you delaying and hoping that some other men 
will act, accusing one another, impeaching, hoping again, 
doing nearly the same things which you do now. 



10. Then you are placed thus unreasonably, O ! Athenians, 
so that you hope these affairs to become good from being 
bad through these same actions, by which the affairs of the 
city have become bad from good. But this at least is 
neither reasonable nor having nature [i. e. in nature,] for 
it is natural that those having should guard much more 
easily, than acquire all things. But now nothing of those 
formerly which indeed we preserved, is left by the war, but 
it behoves to acquire. Then this work is now of your- 
selves. 



11. Now I say that it is proper to contribute money, to go 
out yourselves eagerly to fight^ to accuse no one before that 
you have recovered your affairs : and then that you judging 
by the same actions, should honor indeed the men worthy 
of praise and punish those acting unjustly, and remove 
pretences and faults against yourselves. For it is not proper 
to search bitterly what has been done by others, if the things 
necessary do not exist at first from yourselves. For 
on account of something, O ! Athenians, you think all 
the generals whom you have sent, indeed, to shun

this war, but that they find wars in private (if it is necessary 
to speak anything of those things existing and about the 
generals) that there, on one hand, the rewards for which the 
war is, are yours (if Amphipolis be taken, you will obtain 
that immediately) and the dangers are the special ones of 
the generals, but the reward is not: but there the dangers 
indeed are less, and the emoluments of the chiefs and of the 
soldiers are Lampsacus and Sigeum, and the ships which 
they take. Thus they severally march towards the profitable 
to them, and you, when indeed you look to affairs in a bad 
state, criminate the chiefs : but when having given them word, 
(i. e., liberty to make their defence) you hear their necessi- 
ties, you acquit them. Therefore it remains to us to provoke 
one another, and to differ; some, indeed, persuaded of these 
and some of those, and the public affairs are in a bad 
state. 



12. For formerly, indeed, O ! Athenians, you contributed 
in classes, but now you govern by classes : an orator is a 
chief of either, and a general and three hundred are under 
him : and you, the others are arranged, some indeed for 
these and some for those. Now it behoves you renouncing 
these affairs and becoming masters of yourselves, even now 
to do what is common and to speak, and to deliberate, and 
to act. But if you give to some indeed to command you 
as by a tyrant, and others to be forced to equip vessels, to 
contribute, to carry arms, and some only to decree against 
the latter, but to labor for nothing else : any of these things 
being necessary, will not be done for you in time : for 
always the party suffering injustice will want, then it will 
remain to you to punish these instead of your enemies.

13. I say then, in brief, that all contribute an equal part 
according to what each one has, that all go out against the 
enemy successively, until you have all served ; that you 
give liberty of speech to all presenting themselves, and choose 
the best things which you may hear, not those which this 
one or that one may say, and if you do these things not 
only will you immediately praise the one speaking, but even 
afterwards yourselves, all affairs being to you better by

AOTOZ TPIT02. 

Subject of the Discourse. — The measures proposed by Demosthenes 
had been partially adopted, and put in execution. Two thousand 
men, under the command of Chares, had made a descent in Mace- 
donia, and defeated a body of eight hundred men, attached to the 
service of Philip, engaged himself before Olynthus, which he was 
pressing closely. An advantage so slight, raised the presumption 
natural to the Athenians ; and, in their foolish joy, they thought that 
nothing more remained to them than to dictate to the king of Ma- 
cedonia conditions of peace. The orator, in reducing to its just value 
the success obtained by Chares, from thence undertakes to engage 
his fellow-citizens to pursue the war with ardor, and to oppose more 
ardently than they had yet done, the abuses which had crept into 
several parts of the administration, and especially in the law relative 
to the distributions of the theater.

OLYNTHIAC ORATIONS. 



ORATION III. 

An abrupt Exordium. The speeches made by the most of 
the orators, are not at all in relation with events ; they speak 
as conquerors, when they ought to think of the means of con- 
quering. 

1. It is not presented to me to think the same things O ! 
Athenians, both when I look to our affairs, and when I look 
to the speeches which I hear : for on one- hand I see those 
speeches made about punishing Philip, and I see affairs 
advanced to that point, so that it is necessary to examine 
how we shall not ourselves suffer badly first. Then those 
men, speaking such things appear to me nothing else than to 
miss the subject about which you consult, not presenting to 
you the subject being (i. e., as it is.) But I know also very 
exactly, that indeed, formerly, it was permitted to the State 
both to have possessions of itself securely, and to punish 
Philip : for under me, (i. e., in my time,) not long ago, both 
these things happened. Then I am now persuaded that 
this thing is sufficient for us to anticipate, first, how we 
shall save the allies : for if this thing is found solidly 
then it will be permitted to examine also about that accord- 
ing to what manner any one will punish him : but before 
establishing correctly the beginning, I regard as useless to 
make any discourse whatever about the end.

2. Now, indeed, O ! Athenians, the present time, if ever, 
needs also now much reflection and deliberation. But I do 
not think it the most difficult what it behoves to consult 
about present affairs, but I am perplexed in this, O ! Athen- 
ians, as to what manner it behoves me to speak to you about 
them. For I am persuaded, from tJiese things which I being 
present and hearing do know, that the most of affairs have 
escaped you in your not wishing to do the things necessary, 
not from ignorance. And I ask you, if I make a speech 
with frankness that you suffer it, considering this, if I speak 
the truth, I speak it also because of this that the rest may 
become better. For look you how from this that each one 
harangues the people for favor, present affairs have advanced 
to every point of misfortune. But I think it necessary to 
re-call first to you a few of those things having happened. 



Exposition. — First part. It is necessary to redouble 
our efforts to assist Olynthus, and keep up the struggle en- 
gaged in against Philip. 

3. Remember, O ! Athenians, when Philip was announced 
to you in Thrace, this third or fourth year, besieging the 
Herean fort; now then, indeed, it was the month of Decem- 
ber. But many speeches and some trouble occurring among 
you, you resolved to launch forty triremes, and that the 
citizens even to forty and five years should embark in them, 
and contribute sixty talents, and after these things, this year 
being past, September, October, November poised. In this 
month immediately after the mysteries of Ceres, you sent 
Charydemus having ten empty vessels and five talents of 
silver. For when Philip was announced as sick and dead, 
(for both news came) thinking that no time of assisting existed 
any more, you gave up, O ! Athenians, the whole arma- 
ment. But this was the favor-able time itself: for if then we

Second Motive. — Surrounded by jealous or hostile na-

selves, if ilvey cannot save Olynthus, to see themselves soon 
attacked by Philip.

had assisted there, (i. e., at Herea,) as we had resolved 
eagerly, Philip restored to health then, would not trouble 
us now. Now indeed, affairs done then would not be 
otherwise, but now the occasion of another war comes. 
What ivarl This, on account of which also I made men- 
tion about these things, that you might not suffer the same. 
Now in what, O ! Athenians, shall we profit by this occa- 
sion ? For if you do not assist with all your might, 
according to your ability, consider in what manner you 
shall have commanded all things for Philip. 



4. The Olynthians were found having acquired a certain 
power, and their affairs were so established, neither Philip 
had courage to attack them nor had they courage to attach 
Philip. We and they made peace between ourselves, this 
thing was as a certain obstacle and troublesome to Philip, 
that a large city reconciled to us should watch his oppor- 
tunities. We thought that it behoved to stir up against 
Philip men in every way, and this thing which all published 
previously, is done now in any way. Then, O ! Athenians, 
what thing is remaining to do, but to succor vigorously and 
eagerly. I indeed do not see. For apart from the shame 
surrounding us, if we cowardly neglect anything of affairs, 
I see, O ! Athenians, the fear of affairs after these things 
not a little : the Thebans, indeed, being to us, as they are, 
but the Phoecians wanting funds, and nothing being an 
obstacle to Philip, having subjected the present affairs, at 
Olynthus, to turn towards these affairs respecting ourselves. 
But yet, if any one of you put off, in this to do necessary 
affairs, and desires to look closely into our misfortunes, it 
being in his power to hear things happening elsewhere: 
and desires to seek help for himself, it being in his power 
now himself to succor others. For indeed we almost all, 
certainly know that affairs will be brought to this, if we 
abandon the present.

Second Part. TJie way to succeed is to do away certain 
laws hurtful to the state, among others, that ivhich concerns 
the distributions of the theater. 

5. But some one may say that we all determined that 
indeed it certainly behoves to assist, and we will assist : but 
say this, the how. Then, O ! Athenians, do not wonder if 
I say something contrary in opinion to all. Do ye appoint 
Legislators, but do not place any one law in those Legisla- . 
tures (for the laws are sufficient to you) but abrogate those 
injuring you for the present. But I mention, thus openly, 
the laws concerning things which have relation to plays, 
and some laws about things concerning soldiers, of which 
some indeed distribute military rewards to the citizens 
remaining at home, and others leave uncondemned those 
quitting the ranks, then also they make those the more dis- 
couraged willing to do what is necessary. 

6. But when you have abolished these laws and shall 
have rendered sure the way of speaking the best things, 
then seek out the one having proposed what you all know, 
that they are useful. But before having done these things, 
do not consider that any one having spoken the best things 
for you will be willing to be destroyed by you, for you shall 
not find one ; and otherwise also this thing alone about to 
remain namely, that the citizen having uttered and proposed 
these things, suffers unjustly some evil, but that it perfects 
affairs in nothing, but even renders for the future the saying 
the best things more dangerous, even more than now. And 
surely, O ! Athenians, it behoves to ask these same men to 
abolish the laws, which they have also established. For it 
is not just, indeed, that a favor which has injured all the 
city should be to those having established these laws then, but 
that the hatred by which we would all act better, become a loss 
to the one uttering now the best things. But before that you 
prepare these things, by no means, think, O ! Athenians, 
that no one is so great among you as having transgressed

the laws not to suffer punishment, nor so senseless as to cast 
himself into an evident evil. 



It does not surely become you, O ! Athenians, to be 
ignorant of this, that a decree is worthy of nothing, if this, 
its becoming us to be willing to do ardently those things 
appearing proper, be not added. For if the decrees were 
sufficient either to force you to do what it behoves you, or 
to perform those about which decrees are made, you would 
not, decreeing many things, perform few, but rather none of 
these, nor would Philip insult you during so long a time : 
for long ago he would have suffered punishment certainly 
on account of these decrees. But these affairs are not so. 
For the performing being in the order after speaking and 
voting, is the first in force, and more powerful. Then it 
behoves you to apply this, and the other things are present to 
you, (i. e., you possess the rest. For also there are with 
you, O ! Athenians, those citizens able to speak things 
becoming : and you are the sharpest of all to know things 
spoken, and you certainly will be able now to perform 
them, if you act rightly. 



8. For what time or what occasion better than the present 
do you seek, O ! Athenians ? or when will ye do those 
things which it behoves you to do, if not now? Has not 
this man already seized, indeed, all your strong places? 
and if he become master also of this country, we shall 
experience the most shameful things of all. Those whom we 
zealously promise to save, if they should fight, are they not 
now attacked, is he (Philip) not our enemy ? not having 
your possessions ? not a barbarian ? not whatever any one 
may say ? But by the gods having left all these things, and 
almost having prepared them together with him, we will 
seek then all those authors who are the cause of these evils ?

to procure the money which a war so important and neces- 
sary requires.

For we will not say that we are ourselves at least authors 
of these evils, I know this thing clearly, for neither in dangers 
of war does any one of those fleeing accuse himself but he 
accuses also the general, and his companions, and rather he 
accuses all : but they have been conquered, notwithstanding 
indeed., through all these having fled, for it is permitted to the 
accuser of others to remain, and if each did this they would 
conquer. 



9. And now does some one not speak the best things? 
let another having risen up, speak, and let him not blame 
that man. Does any other speak things better? Do these 
things with good fortune. But these things are not agreeable ; 
the one saying this acts no more unjustly, except if it being 
necessary to pray, he omits it. For indeed, O ! Athenians, it 
is easy to pray, collecting in a short time in the same dis- 
course, all things which any one wishes : but to choose when 
it is proposed to examine about affairs is no longer equally 
easy, but it behoves to lay hold of the best things instead 
of agreeable things,'^ it is not permitted to get both. 

But if any one have power to leave to us the theatrical 
funds, and to mention other military revenues, would he not 
be the better one to attend to? would any one say itl I 
indeed would say it, O ! Athenians, if the thing is possible. 
ButI wonder if either it has happened or will ever happen to 
any one of men to abound in things absent for the things 
which it behoves him 1o have, if he have squandered away 
present property for what does not behove him to have. But 
I think the will of each one is a great matter in such speeches : 
therefore, it is the easiest thing of all to deceive oneself: for 
each one thinks also this which he desires. But affairs often 
happen naturally not so. 



10. Then, O! Athenians, look to these things so as

also your affairs permit ; and you will be able to go 
forth, and you will have your pay. Not indeed is it a 
thing of wise men, nor of noble men, neglecting anything 
of war on account of the want of funds, to support easily 
such insults, nor to march on the one hand against the 
Corinthians and Megareans having taken up arms, and to 
suffer Philip to enslave the Grecian cities through the want 
of provisions for those engaged in war. 



11. And, I have not undertaken to speak lightly that I 
may become hateful to some of you, (for I am one not so 
insensible nor so unfortunate as to wish to be hated, thinking 
to be useful in nothing) but I judge of a just citizen 
to prefer the safety of affairs instead of the favor in speaking. 
For also I hear equally as you also, that those speaking 
under our ancestors, (whom all those present, praise indeed, 
but do not imitate at all) use this mode and this custom of 
administration ; Aristides himself, Nicias, the one of the 
same name with myself, and Pericles. But from what time 
those orators have appeared interrogating you, what do you 
wish? What shall I propose? in what shall I gratify you? 
The affairs of the state have been delivered up for pleasure, 
a little while, and for favor, and such things happen : the 
affairs of these people are all well, but yours are in a state 
of disgrace. Now, consider, O ! Athenians, these things which 
any one might be able to speak briefly, both of the actions 
under our ancestors and those under us. But the speech 
will be brief and known to you. For it is permitted you, O ! 
Athenians, to become prosperous, making use of examples not 
foreign, but home ones. Therefore they whom those speaking

did not flatter, loved them not as those now love you, 
commanded indeed the willing Greeks, during sixty and 
five years, but gathered into the Acropolis, more than 
ten thousand talents : and the king having that country 
Macedonia obeyed them as it is fitting that a barbarian obey 
the Greeks : and bearing arms themselves they erected 
trophies many and beautiful both on foot and fighting in 
vessels; and alone of men left the glory by actions more 
powerful than those envying. Now, indeed, they were such 
in Greek affairs; and in those in the city itself, consider 
what they were both in public and in private affairs. On 
one hand, then they have established publicly for us, build- 
ings and such beauties of temples, and offerings in them, so 
that superiority has been left to no one of men existing : but, 
in private, they were so wise and remaining much in the 
mode of government, that if any one of you really ever saw 
the house of Aristides, and that of Miltiades, and of those 
citizens then illustrious what sort it is ; he sees it being 
more remarkable in nothing than the house of the neighbor, 
for the affairs of the city were done by them not for 
abundance, but each thought that it behoved to improve the 
common stock. But from managing, on one hand, the 
Greek affairs faithfully, and the affairs towards the Gods 
piously, and those among themselves equally they have 
acquired justly great honor. 

12. Then, indeed, affairs were in this manner to those 
making use of their chiefs whom I mentioned : but now how 
are affairs with you under those honorable citizens at present? 
Are they similarly affected and nearly so? And, indeed, I pass by 
other things in silence,having many to say, but enjoying tran- 
quillity so great as you all see, and on one hand the Lacedae- 
monians indeed being lost, but the Thebans being engaged, and 
no one of the others being so powerful to oppose us about the 
pre-eminence, but it being in our power also to have securely

those affairs of ourselves, and to regulate the rights of others, 
we have been deprived indeed of our own country, and we 
have expended on nothing necessary more than a thousand 
and five hundred talents; and those whom we have acquired 
as allies in the war have perished, it being peace, and we 
have made an enemy so great against ourselves ; or let some 
one having come forward, tell me, whence elsewhere than 
from ourselves, has Philip become powerful ? But, O ! my 
friend, if these things, are badly, (i. e., in a bad state,) 
those at least in the city itself are now better. And what 
can any one have to say ? that these are the city walls 
which we make common, and the roads which we repair, and 
the fountains, and such trifles I Now, look to those managing 
such affairs, which some have become rich from being 
poor, and some have become illustrious from being obscure ; 
and some have built their private houses more remarkable 
than the public edifices. But the possessions of these people 
have increased by so much as those of the republic have 
become less. 

12. Now what is the cause of these evils ? and why once 
were all our affairs so fair, and now do not go on well ? 
Because, indeed, formerly even the people daring to make 
war themselves were masters of those governing, and them- 
selves the stewards of all good tilings, and it was agreeable 
to each of the other ministers to receive from the people 
both honor, and dignity, and some advantage : but now, on 
the contrary, indeed, those governing are the masters of 
good things, and all affairs are done by them : but you, 
the people, having been weakend and deprived of your 
wealth, and allies, have come into the place of a slave, and 
of an accessory, loving if these may give you some of 
the theater funds, or send pieces of beef; and the most 
unmanly thing of all, you show gratitude for your own 
affairs : but those having shut you up in the city itself,

drag you towards those things, and tame you, making you 
tractable to themselves. But it is in no way 'possible, I think, 
that men doing small affairs and despicable, should conceive 
a noble and elevated thought : for it is necessary to have 
also such a thought, such as the tastes of men are. By 
Ceres ! I should not wonder at these things, if there should 
come from you to me a greater evil, having spoken these 
things, than these prepared to happen, for the liberty about 
all affairs is not always with you ; but I wonder that it has 
happened even now. 



13. But then if at least now, still being delivered from this 
condition, you both wish to war, and to act worthily of your- 
selves, and if you make use of those resources at home as 
means for good abroad, likely, O ! Athenians, likely you 
would acquire some perfect and great good, and you would 
be delivered from such presents which resemble aliments 
given to the sick by doctors ; for even these neither give 
force, nor permit the sick to die : and those things which 
now you distribute are neither such as to have any suffi- 
cient utility, nor do they permit you renouncing them to do 
any other thing; but these are increasing the idleness of 
each of you. 



14. Then dost thou propose pay? some one will say; 
and I propose, indeed, immediately the same order of all, 
O ! Athenians, that each receiving a portion of the public 
funds may promptly present himself useful for this thing of 
which the state has need. Is it permitted to enjoy repose ? 
remaining at home, thou art better, being delivered from 
doing by necessity, any thing shameful through want. 
What such thing, as also these, now happens ? being thyself 
a soldier for thy country, as it is just, from these same

equal order, that which he receiving now out of order, avails 
not. And upon the whole, neither having retrenched nor 
having added, except small afFairs,expelling disorder, I would 
bring back the city into order, having made the same order

which each one has to do. t according to age, and of which 
there might be an occasion. 

14. It is not any where (i. e., possible), I said, that it behoves 
to divide the things of those having acted with those doing 
nothing : nor does it behove yourselves, indeed, to be inactive, 
and to be idle, and to be irresolute ; but to inform yourselves 
of this, that the foreign soldiers of a certain general are 
victorious. For these things happen now, and I do not 
blame the one doing for you any of those things necessary, 
but I judge yourselves to do for yourselves those things, for 
which you honor others, and not to abandon, O ! Athenians, 
the post of valor which your ancestors have left to you, 
having acquired it with numerous dangers both beautiful and 
grand : I have nearly said what I think will avail ; but may 
you choose what is about to be useful both to the state and 
to you all !
